| Reel to Reel uses - Great topic! I'm an open reel fan and I've also owned many great decks.I actually owned three (yes three!) Sony TC 880-2 machines. I sold all of them to my regret. I have a lot of studio tapes I can only hope I can get to dub over to CDR before th... | |
| I find this so strange This is the nature of SO many companies in this business. It's my biggest complaint. I follow a company and their products only to see them bought out or the owner dies and the company goes down hill. So sad. | |
| record storage question No, The LP's would be inside the house. The other side of the wall is outside. Joe | |
| Solid State Amplifier Advancements In A Decade In terms of sonic improvements; nothing what so ever. I had a Threshold T400 in 1995. It sounded magnificent! I haven't heard anything surpass it yet. Joe | |
| why do people feel the need to buy expensive cable If anyone uses or tries different cabling in their system and can't hear a difference, I believe they have a non synergistic play back system and are at a loss to experience what a live realistic sound can be had | |
| Is no preamp really better that a good preamp? Like many people, I tried to save money and eliminate the preamp. If you're happy with what you hear without it, then good for you. Ultimately I opted for a preamp. I can't remember which Sterophile writer said that "the preamplifier is the beatin... | |
| Bose 901's with "highend ancillaries"?? My first speakers were Bose 901 Series 2. I liked them very much. I never paired them with anything more than a Pioneer receiver and 16 gauge speaker wire. I was happy. That is the bottom line isn't it? This high end hobby drives all of us crazy. ... | |
| What's the solid state amp to buy $2500? As noted above, the Parasound A21. It may be the best amp in that price range AND beats a lot of more expensive amps. | |
| Why not accordion ? I think Polka music did a lot to kill the instrument in many ways. Too many "oompa" bands playing it in traditional fashion with one song sounding like the next. Doesn't Zydeco music have some great players? Joe | |
| Electron microscope slow-motion video of vinyl LP Oh no! He butchered Walter Carlos! Is there an irony here? | |
| Need help with my speakers They look like they're from "The Forbidden Planet"! Joe | |
| Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs Years ago when I had a Threshold T2 preamp and a Threshold T400 amp, both had XLR and RCA outputs. I had two dealers willing send me VERY expensive cables of both types. I experimented with every cable until I was blue in the face. In short, I cou... | |
| Which preamp? Opinions? Suggestions? with the Classe CP800, you have the ability to eliminate the crossover and get a shorter signal path. I own one and it's great! Joe | |
| Need to Downsize: Small Speaker Recommendation I must first say that I have for sale a pair of Triangle Celius here on Audiogon. BUT, they are the least expensive speakers to my knowledge that received Class A rating. The more you through at them, the better they sound. Major bang for the buck... | |
| Why not magnetic tapes in stead of vinyl records? Also, there were until maybe 15 years ago, companies who produced high quality tapes copied at lower speeds. BarclayCrocker was one of them. Their catalogue was all Classical music. Joe |
